Your wires could be rubbing the frame somewhere. I saw a YFZ that did this and he moved the bundle of wires behind the left headlight to make it go away.

For a temperary fix once started unhook the battery but i would say you have a rubbed through wire that is causing it to stay on

Also i believe you can start it then pull the fuse under the seat once it is running.

my 06 did the exact thing the starter is always running every time i pull in my clutch. also my bike starts when i pull the clutch in. its pretty wierd but alot of people told me the wires are grounding to the frame or rubbing against somthing. i took it to yamaha so they can get a new starter and check the flywheel. but its proboly been through 5 years of starts since the starter engages every time i pull in the clucth. i was at the dunes when it happened so i just started it then pulled the fuse so the starter would not be able to run it works its just a pain every time you stop you have to get under the seat to start it.
